La French Touch Takes Over Kuala Lumpur this New Year

Martell V.S.O.P. is set to usher in the new year with one night of French Art de Vivre at the inaugural Martell La French Touch Party this Saturday, 16th January at KL Live.

Saluting 300 years of French excellence, Martell, one of the oldest cognac house in world, celebrates the evolution of the French music movement in the last decade with the creation of the limited edition La French Touch by Martell and culminating in an evening of electrifying music. Housed in a glow-in-dark, neon blue bottle, the limited edition was created in a partnership with Etienne de Crécy, pioneer and emblematic figure of the electronic music movement. Etienne de Crécy popularised French House music, a genre that came to be known as ‘the French Touch’.

Headlining the first ever La French Touch Party is Grammy Award nominee, French DJ Joachim Garraud, one of the most influential pioneers in the electronic dance music scene. The event will also feature Malaysia's Popular DJ, Joey G; Malaysia's Hottest DJ, Patricia Knudsen; Hip Hop International World Bronze Medalist, Elecoldxhot; as well as artists from famed local DJ community - Play for Passion in a celebration of true French living.
